Ruthin Gaol was once a prison until 1976. After several renovations, it has now become a museum, featuring exhibits that include prison facilities reflecting its past as a jail and various artifacts showcasing Ruthin’s history and archaeological findings. The Ruthin Craft Centre houses workshops demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship such as glassblowing, porcelain making, painting, and home restoration. The new craft centre, opened in 2008, features six craft workshops, an art gallery, and a retail centre where visitors can not only watch the crafting process but also purchase beautiful handmade items. The Grade I listed timber-framed Nantclwyd House and the 13th- and 14th-century St Peter's Church are both impressive examples of the area’s ancient architecture.
